Card Creator: My Cards Unlimited Chain.

Chapter 869 War begins

The method of achieving godhood through Synchro Summoning has finally been determined.

Upon seeing this soul card, Yu Cang felt incredibly fortunate to have Gu Jieshuang.

If it weren't for someone like Gu Jieshuang, who grasped Star Rank Perception very early on and has been constantly improving along the way, he might have taken much longer to truly discover the real way to become a god through Synchronous Summoning.

Although he had roughly guessed the direction of achieving godhood through synchronization, predicting the future was still too difficult... At least until Gu Jieshuang revealed this ability, he couldn't think of how to predict the future.

Fortunately, we have Gu Jieshuang, a master of synchronization.

With that in mind, he began to observe the abilities of the Divine Self.

[Ascension to Godhood] is an ability that all Soul Cards possess, so there's no need to elaborate.

As Gu Jieshuang said, the path to [the opening of the divine general] requires her to foresee the future, and the way to ensure her realm is precisely through the Soul Card Master fulfilling the prophecy.

From this perspective...

After pondering for a moment, Yu Cang asked, "The quality of this prophecy must be very important, right?"

Gu Jieshuang nodded: "That's right—even though we all become gods through the same process, there are differences in strength. If my prophecy only involves participating in a war, even a war that affects the entire planet Blue Star, then the power I can gain from it won't be much."

"Furthermore, major events like wars always come to an end. When that time comes, the prophecies will be impossible to fulfill, and the power will gradually decline, even falling from its mythical status... If that happens, I must find a way to prolong the war in order to extend my power."

"So, actually, it's all thanks to the boss—"

Gu Jieshuang looked at Yu Cang with a beaming smile:

"Before I actually take that step, I can see many futures, like bubbles. These are the futures I will experience. They are big and small. As for your future... that bubble is so bright that under its light, I can't even choose anything else."

Upon hearing this, Yu Cang couldn't help but touch his nose: "It seems... I've imposed my future on you."

“No—I’m willing.” Gu Jieshuang hugged Yu Cang’s arm. “Our future can intertwine so far into the future…don’t you think that’s a very romantic thing?”

"Romance...that's something that's hard to endure."

"I don't care," Gu Jieshuang said. "In short... because of this prophecy, although I have only just reached the Mythical Realm, I can already be considered a master among them. Moreover, since it will take a very, very long time for this prophecy to be fulfilled, my lifespan is much longer than that of others, even the Supreme Being cannot compare to me!"

Seeing Gu Jieshuang's happy face, Yu Cang could only smile and keep his words to himself.

Waiting for trillions of years—just thinking about that scenario is enough to make one despair.

However, now is certainly not the time to be pessimistic.

Gu Jieshuang is right. This prophecy is unlikely to come true, which is why she was granted near-eternal power.

The Soul Card Master who achieves godhood through synchronization is special; their lifespan is not fixed but closely related to their prophecy.

As long as the Soul Card Master continues to fulfill the prophecy and pave the way for that future, they will never die, nor even age.

Conversely, once one deviates from the path, or once the prophecy is fulfilled... then the explanation becomes a normal myth, or even worse.

So actually... this path is somewhat sinister.

Just like Gu Jieshuang's example, if someone makes a prophecy based on war, once the war ends, the prophecy will also end. In that case, the Soul Card Master might keep provoking the "prophetic war" in order to prolong his own life.

By then, it will be useless whether this guy's original prophecy was to "end the war" or "stop the war." He has already distorted the prophecy and embarked on a path of no return. In the end, he will inevitably perish at the hands of other mythologies.

From this perspective, Synchro Summoning doesn't seem to be a suitable path to be made public and used by everyone.

Admittedly, Yan Kingdom can now guarantee that, through a certain selection process, only a few individuals with impeccable character will be allowed to make breakthroughs, but... these individuals are only highly respected for the first hundred years of their lives.

Nobody knows what they'll think after they become legends.

The idea of ​​prophesying alienation is still too terrifying.

Even... if, thousands of years from now, a certain myth of harmony is about to die because a prophecy has been fulfilled, how many disciples and apprentices will he have at that time? How many mythical friends will he have?
At that time, those who hope he will survive will probably distort the prophecy themselves, and that myth will be unable to die even if it wants to.

The resulting series of consequences will be terrifying.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Yu Cang decided that it would be better to keep the method of his ascension to godhood, as revealed by the gods, hidden for the time being and not to make it public.

However, the prophecy of alienation has nothing to do with Gu Jieshuang.

After all, the prophecy that Gu Jieshuang chose already spanned trillions of years or even more... She wouldn't live to see the prophecy fulfilled until her humanity was worn away by time.

Before the prophecy of alienation, she herself may have been alienated first.

The Supreme Being's lifespan is theoretically infinite, but it is still limited by the astral plane itself and celestial anomalies. Gu Jieshuang can truly be said to live longer than the Supreme Being.

After all... even if this prophecy comes true, and she finally meets Yu Cang, she doesn't need to worry about dying of old age.

When Yu Cang returned as the creator, Gu Jieshuang's lifespan had become a set of adjustable parameters, which could be filled with any number, even negative numbers.

Thinking of this, Yu Cang patted Gu Jieshuang's head and said, "If one day in the future you really can't hold on anymore, then..."

"Okay, okay, stop saying things like that."

Gu Jieshuang patted Yu Cang's lips, scattering the rest of his words.

"There's more potential later, let's take a look."

Seeing this, Yu Cang shook his head and then turned his attention to the abilities that followed.

The next ability is [Divine Foresight].

The abilities of this position are generally related to survival, and as expected, the survival of "Divine Revelation of Me" is related to... foresight.

It seems that Gu Jieshuang already possessed this ability while serving in Zhenguo, but that is not actually the case.

Gu Jieshuang explained that before breaking through the myth, he needed a quiet environment to see the future, and each time he needed to prepare for a period of time, preferably without being disturbed.

After becoming a myth, this ability became very stable, and even in the most intense battles, she could see the future at any time.

That's terrifying... Given that she can see the future, Gu Jieshuang is unlikely to encounter a real crisis.

However, this ability is not invincible.

The key point is that it must be a "certain future".

The future is uncertain, and no one can guarantee that they can predict everything that will happen in the future with 100% certainty.

Yu Cang swung his sword, and the trajectory of the sword was fixed at the moment of exertion; this was a definite future.

However, if Yu Cang sells a sword, who will buy it decades later is an uncertain future.

The "major event closely related to her future" that Gu Jieshuang foresaw during her breakthrough is a typical example of "uncertainty".

Gu Jieshuang could only know that this matter was related to her, but she couldn't be sure in what form she would participate, which was why she needed to make a prophecy. She could only see the creation process, but not what she was doing during or after creation.

Such a future is outside the scope of "divine foresight".

Even so, this ability is still very powerful.

The stronger Gu Jieshuang becomes, the more "certain futures" she has. Now that Gu Jieshuang has just entered the mythical state, she can already be almost omniscient and omnipotent within one minute, have a vague grasp within ten minutes, and have a faint premonition in her heart beyond ten minutes.

Such a long period of time is quite terrifying for a mythological context.

【Divine Foresight】is not only used for survival, but also for offense.

When Yu Cang saw the remaining two abilities, [Divine Harmony] and [Transcending Realms], his eyes widened in astonishment.

Absolutely right, that's what synchronization is all about!
However... for Gu Jieshuang now, this [Divine Harmony] isn't that useful.

Gu Jieshuang has many ways to synchronize, and her combinations in battle are quite flexible. Even if [Divine Harmony] can unconditionally exchange for a synchronized soul card, it doesn't mean much.

Perhaps... we could add some of the Soul Cards that are difficult to summon with Gu Jieshuang's Sword Intent system to the extra slots, so that [Divine Harmony] can pull them.

As for "transcending realms," there is a specific explanation for that.

As is well known, since the star rank of Synchro Soul Cards is pieced together, the Soul Cards may not be particularly stable, and in terms of raw stats, they may be inferior to other summoning methods.

The solution to this problem is to compress the star order.

By compressing the star rank of a Soul Card as much as possible, although the materials become more fragmented, the stability of the Soul Card is actually increased because each star rank is very compact.

Compressing star ranks is extremely difficult. Normally, compressing one or two ranks is already very difficult, so compressing a mythical star into a single rank... so far, apart from Gu Jieshuang, no one has been able to do it.

Theoretically, this ability can compress the star level of 21 Mythical Soul Cards to 1 in an instant, thereby coordinating with each other to create an unprecedentedly large monster.

Although that would be a bit like acrobatics, just thinking about it is cool.

This is the ultimate state of mind, as clear as a mirror and as still as water!
Overall, the abilities of Divine Illusion are not complex, but they are all very powerful, with obvious strengths and weaknesses.

only……

"Boss?" Gu Jieshuang waved her hand in front of Yu Cang. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing... I'm learning." Yu Cang grinned. "According to what you said, advancing through synchronization requires foresight... I don't have that ability yet."

"Hehe, easy." Gu Jieshuang patted her chest. "Now, let me teach you!"

Yu Cang smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

……

Gu Jieshuang's ability to teach others is really not commendable, let alone such a very abstract skill.

Fortunately, Yu Cang was able to learn without Gu Jieshuang's instruction.

He hadn't noticed that Synchro could do this before because he had no concept of it. Now that he knows the path, with the power of divine knowledge, it won't take him long to learn it.

Gu Jieshuang's precognitive ability when she was in charge of the state was, to put it bluntly, a simplified version of "divine foresight." Now that the Divine Illusion has been made into a Soul Card, Yu Cang only needs to deduce it in reverse through the Soul Card.

However, this ability is indeed not simple. After Yu Cang tried it, he found that he would need to practice for a period of time to fully master it.

For Yu Cang now, many things are immediately clear; seeing them is equivalent to learning them. The skills that require practice are undeniably valuable.

But it's alright, Yu Cang doesn't lack time now.

However, this was during Yu Cang's training at Tianmen.

The situation outside is also constantly changing.

Under the personal supervision of Emperor Chang'an, the Academy Island has been built, and all countries and organizations on Earth have begun institutional reforms.

Everything is moving in the direction that Emperor Chang'an hoped for.

And it was at this very moment that Huang suddenly launched a full-scale invasion of Earth!
Perhaps the gods behind the scenes realized that if they allowed Blue Star to become a whole and allowed them to eliminate the dangerous places and secret realms on Blue Star one by one, their chances of attacking would only become more and more remote.

Or perhaps... the newly born Aragami has finally obtained all its power.

The war broke out just like that, very suddenly!

Stab! !
Beyond the borders of Yan Kingdom, dark spatial rifts stretched across the sky, tearing thousands of miles of sky into countless fragments, directly connecting to the Nightmare border!

Before that, the soldiers who had ventured deep into the Nightmare border had already sensed something was wrong, and they withdrew their defenses and retreated back into the frontier. Therefore, there were no casualties in the first round.

Furthermore, Yu Cang had already provided a great deal of information, and within six months, the Yan Kingdom Association had essentially eradicated all the hidden, world-class or higher-level desolate crystals within the Yan Kingdom. Therefore, within the vast territory of the Yan Kingdom, only one divine descent occurred.

But... in other countries, it's quite exaggerated.

Their cleanup of the wasteland within their borders has only just begun, and many countries do not actually have complete control over their own territories, such as Elephant Tower, where humans and wild beasts live together.

In a short time, there were as many as 57 divine descents occurring all over the planet!
The entire planet seemed to be shaken. At the moment the Wild God launched a massive invasion, the trembling mythical aura almost physically tore the planet apart!
These myths are unlike the Bartonora demons, who came to parasitize the humans of Earth, so they must have to consider Earth's environment and control the aftermath of battles, but those desolate gods don't care at all!

All they want to do is destroy!
Fortunately, Emperor Chang'an had already made preparations.

At the start of the Divine Descent, the Supreme Field Card "Destined Homecoming" was used to completely replicate an identical Blue Star, transferring all the mythical battlefields there to minimize the destruction of the real Blue Star.

But there was nothing more he could do.

Because... another supreme-level Desolate God approached him!
He must keep the battlefield with that supreme being as far away from Earth as possible; otherwise, the battle between supreme beings, even if separated by countless layers of space, could tear Earth apart in an instant!

Therefore, the battlefield on Earth can only be fought by the mythologists themselves.

……

Graveyard of Stars
Emperor Chang'an used "Homecoming of Remembrance" to take the Supreme Desolate God countless light-years away. His expression was solemn as he pondered:

The national regulations are invalid? Wait… Xinghe also has rivals on his side…

Emperor Chang'an clearly sensed that in another corner of the Nightmare's border, a pair of supreme auras were locked in a fierce battle.

It must be the Milky Way.

This attack by the Aragami is too fierce!
……

"Hehehe... Hahaha... Ah!"

Opposite them, the figure known as the Desolate God opened its arms and slowly flew towards Emperor Chang'an.

"Come on, don't resist..."
